The bud sites are just covered in tricomes, I had my magnifying glass out to check the colour and most are milky but not as much as I thought by going by the pistol coloring, as they are mostly brown. There is a more of a spicy dank smell to her now and the fan leaves have mostly died or are close to dying. Hopefully I can start the flush process soon but will not do this till I'm happy with the tricome colouring.

High, the Canna Professional Plus soil had mourning mosquitoes in it (second time I have the same problem with Canna soil). I "fight" them with Culinex pills (B.t.i.) and neem oil - works pretty good. They are almost gone.👍 I peg the leaves down, so that more light can penetrate the sprouts. EC is 1,2 with Canna Terra Vega (first and last time in veg phase). They will get another shower with neem oil the day I send them into flowering. Stay green. 💪

FLUSH PERIOD…1ST OF 2 WEEKS NO NUTRIENTS NO CO2 This week is simply a lot of fresh air, lower temps and a lot of fresh 0.0EC RO water. First feed of the flush period I will flush the plants with 1x the pot size of water. So, I’m using 5 gallon pots…flush with 5 gallons of RO water ph’d to 5.8. Rest of the week I will feed like normal. Very little to no runoff of plain RO water. My theory is to let the plants eat the last bit of nutrients not just wash it out. This has always worked for me, so why change a good thing. One more time just in case nobody caught it on my other grow…I am looking for a few reputable growers to give me some smoke reports on what I’ve grown. DM me if you want a sample. I will ship on my dime, all I ask is for an honest review! Thanks everyone and hopefully just one more week to chop chop time!

8/18 1:54 AM MONDAY goats are doing great. I took some clones. I think I’ll start some new ones. I’ve harvested all the other ones but I don’t feel like going through that process. 3AM looks good, there is a Bubbles Blueberry F4 that flipped and is ALL seed......the plants sucked but I have thousands of Bubbles seeds now, so thats something. 3:30 AM I found flowers on all of the bubbles blueberry F floor plants. I’ve never had other plants flower that the only ones that did that so I hate them. I will never grow them again.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 605AM. American Journal time on banned dot video...ALSO I MIGHT have pollenated Tyson Gelato 44 with Bubbles Blueberry F4....!!!!!!!!! Should I be happy or angry?????????🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!update!!!!!! 8/19.....OH FUCK IT WAS ME....!!! the plants are normal, and fine. Stress Induced self seeding is NORMAL on F4's 845AM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🚨⚡️ Combining Bubble's Blueberry F4 and Gelato 44 would likely result in a strain with a complex and intriguing profile, blending the best characteristics of both parent strains. Here's what you could potentially expect: 1. Appearance Dense, resin-rich buds: Both strains are known for their dense and trichome-laden buds. Expect a cross to inherit this trait, potentially boasting exceptional resin production. Vibrant colors: Bubble's Blueberry F4 often exhibits beautiful blue and purple hues, which may be expressed in the cross, possibly alongside the deep greens and purples found in Gelato 44 phenotypes. 2. Aroma and flavor Sweet and fruity with creamy undertones: Bubble's Blueberry F4 is prized for its sweet, fresh blueberry aroma with hints of vanilla cream and a subtle earthiness. Gelato 44 has a complex terpene profile, often described as combining creamy, fruity aromas with a sweet, gassy smell and hints of vanilla, citrus, and mint. A cross could combine these, leading to a rich, sweet, and creamy flavor with prominent blueberry notes, potentially balanced with the gassy, sweet, vanilla, citrus, and mint hints of Gelato 44. Diverse terpene profile: Gelato strains are known to contain terpenes like caryophyllene, myrcene, limonene, and linalool, which contribute to a woody, peppery, spicy, relaxing, citrusy, and floral aroma. Pinene is the dominant terpene of Gelato 44. Bubble's Blueberry F4 boasts terpenes contributing to its sweet blueberry, vanilla cream, and earthy, floral aroma. The cross would likely present a complex blend of these terpenes. 3. Effects Relaxing and euphoric: Both strains tend to offer relaxing and euphoric effects. Bubble's Blueberry F4 is described as deeply relaxing, calming, and potentially sleepy, promoting introspection and potentially leading to a nap. Gelato 44 is reported to induce euphoria, relaxation, and happiness. It provides a body-centered high with relaxing effects, balanced with a clear-headed, creative, and euphoric experience. The cross could deliver a combination of these effects, starting with an uplifting euphoria and mental clarity, transitioning into deep physical relaxation without necessarily leading to heavy sedation. Potential for creativity and focus: Gelato 44 is often associated with promoting creativity and focus, while Bubble's Blueberry F4 is described as inducing "slightly weird thoughts". The resulting strain might offer a unique blend of these mental effects, fostering creativity and introspection. Medicinal potential: Both strains are reported to help with stress relief, pain management, and mood enhancement. Gelato 44 is also used to help with insomnia. The cross could potentially offer a combined benefit for those seeking relief from these conditions. 4. Growth characteristics Compact and sturdy plants: Bubble's Blueberry F4 is described as a compact, sturdy plant with dark green, broad leaves and short internodal spacing. Gelato 44 plants grown indoors tend to be bushy and reach moderate heights of up to 120cm. The cross would likely exhibit a similar morphology, being adaptable to both indoor and outdoor environments. Moderate flowering time and good yield: Bubble's Blueberry F4 has an indoor flowering time of 55-65 days. Gelato 44 flowers in 8 to 9 weeks. The resulting strain would likely have a moderate flowering time and could be a good yielder, depending on the phenotypes and growing conditions. In conclusion, a cross between Bubble's Blueberry F4 and Gelato 44 would likely be a visually appealing plant with dense, resinous buds that may exhibit blue and purple hues. The aroma and flavor would be a delightful mix of sweet blueberries, vanilla cream, and potentially gassy, sweet, vanilla, citrus, and mint notes. The effects would likely start with an uplifting euphoria, gradually transitioning into deep physical relaxation, while also promoting creativity and focus without necessarily inducing heavy sedation. This combination could make it a well-balanced strain for both recreational and medicinal use."" 950 MAKING A NEW STRAIN....I PUT THE MALES IN WITH THEM, WHY NOT?? 1145PM....NOTICING: across all plants, even Dark Opal Basil the Amino treatment system is showing little nails at the edges of the leaves. I dont know the name..where the glands are it looks like the leaf becomes sharper, and the glands at the tips of the edges look SHARPER, like growing little fingernails!!! What the hell is that??? ENLARGED GLANDS ON LEAF SURFACE??!! WITH AMINO, WHAT COULD THAT MEAN? I ASKED.....WOW!!!!!!!!! HEY HEY I SAVED THE WORLD TODAY.....YOU'RE WELCOME.🚨 ""Could the system im working on be used to reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer needed in commercial farming. Could it help the world?Thought for 43sPotential for Reducing Nitrogen Fertilizer in Commercial Farming Yes, the system you're working on—a nutrient mix combining base fertilizers like Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur Grow with amino acid-based biostimulants (e.g., EAA, proline, L-glutamine, Setria Glutathione, TMG, and L-glycine)—has strong potential to be adapted for reducing nitrogen (N) fertilizer needs in commercial farming beyond cannabis. While your mix is tailored for autoflower cannabis, the core principle of using amino acids and biostimulants to enhance nutrient efficiency is well-supported in broader agriculture. These compounds act as biostimulants that improve plant uptake of N, boost stress tolerance, and promote growth with less inorganic N input, potentially cutting fertilizer use by 20-30% or more while maintaining or increasing yields.""" 🚨🚨🚨⚡️Could It Help the World? Absolutely—reducing N fertilizer globally through systems like yours could have profound positive impacts on the environment, economy, and food security. Nitrogen fertilizers are essential for feeding the world but contribute to pollution, with nearly two-thirds of applied N becoming environmental waste. Optimized biostimulant approaches could cut usage by up to 32% while sustaining crop production, addressing multiple global issues. Environmental Benefits: Less N reduces runoff causing eutrophication (algal blooms killing aquatic life), air pollution (e.g., ammonia emissions), soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and ozone depletion. It also lowers greenhouse gas emissions—fertilizer production and use account for ~2% of global GHGs, exacerbating climate change. Economic and Social Gains: Farmers save on fertilizer costs (a major expense), with co-benefits like higher yields under stress improving food security for billions. Reduced N loss enhances soil health long-term, supporting sustainable farming and human health by minimizing pollution-related diseases. Global Scale: If widely adopted, it could redistribute N more equitably (e.g., from over-fertilized regions like China to under-fertilized Africa), maintaining grain production while cutting pollution. Organizations like FAO emphasize improving NUE to combat climate and biodiversity crises. In summary, your system aligns with emerging biostimulant strategies that could significantly cut N use in farming, offering real-world help by fostering sustainable agriculture and mitigating environmental harm. Scaling it would require field trials, but the potential is promising.""🚨. 8/19 439AM I needed a smoking jacket 60's costume and a mini wagon to fall off of....l..AND I GOT BOTH BABY...IM WEIRD ON A WHOLE NUVA LEVAL 8/19 530AM DID. YOU EVER HEAR THE STORY OF THE FISHER KING? 8/19 330pm. The FANCY smoking jacket and garden tools and the new tiny boots fit for some odd reason. Its called Forced Perspective Disorder...lots of imaginary characters such as myself fall victim to it.......sad....

Cyst on neck ruptured, much pain. tried to lance it, ws not successful .. might have to die soon if pain or infection set in. also https://www.brighteon.ai/home for some health info 8/20 1120PM woke up no fever no infection, minor hypothermia , better now. 8/21 430am. ### Analysis of Your Nutrient and Biostimulant Mix for Autoflower Cannabis Your current mix for autoflower cannabis consists of a 2-liter solution with Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Connoisseur Bloom A & B at 1.5 ml/L each (total 3 ml/L, a conservative dose for the flowering phase) combined with a biostimulant stack of 400 mg proline, 250 mg Setria L-Glutathione, 500 mg L-glycine, and 400 mg TMG (trimethylglycine). This mix is tailored for the flowering stage of autoflowers (likely weeks 4-8), aiming to support bud development, stress resilience, and secondary metabolite production (e.g., cannabinoids and terpenes). Below, I evaluate the mix’s efficacy, dosing, and potential impacts based on cannabis research, plant physiology, and grower insights, addressing your goal of reducing nitrogen (N) fertilizer needs and optimizing autoflower performance. #### Components and Their Roles 1. **Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur Bloom A & B (1.5 ml/L each, 3 ml/L total)**: - **Purpose**: Designed for the flowering phase, Bloom A & B provide a lower N, higher P-K ratio (e.g., ~2-4-7) compared to Grow A & B, plus secondary nutrients (Ca, Mg) and chelated micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn). At 1.5 ml/L, it’s about 37.5% of the full strength (4 ml/L each), delivering moderate nutrients (EC ~0.8-1.2 mS/cm) suitable for autoflowers in early to mid-flower, minimizing N overload while supporting bud formation. - **Effects**: Promotes dense bud growth, resin production, and flower site development without excessive vegetative growth. The pH Perfect technology stabilizes pH (5.5-6.5), reducing lockout and deficiencies (e.g., Ca/Mg-related spotting). Growers report 10-20% denser buds and improved aroma at this dose in hydro/coco. - **Suitability**: Ideal for autoflowers in flower (weeks 4-6), as it avoids high N that could cause “clawing” (as you previously observed) while providing P-K for bud bulking. 2. **Biostimulant Stack** (per 2 L solution): - **Proline (400 mg, 200 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Osmoprotectant; reduces oxidative stress (ROS), enhances drought/salinity tolerance, and stabilizes enzymes. Supports terpene/cannabinoid production by protecting cells during flower stress. - **Dose Evaluation**: 200 mg/L (~1.74 mM) is within the effective range (100-300 mg/L) from plant stress studies. Cannabis trials suggest it mitigates heat/light stress, enhancing resin quality. Good dose for autos in flower. - **Setria L-Glutathione (250 mg, 125 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Antioxidant; scavenges ROS, protects photosynthesis, and detoxifies heavy metals. Enhances yield and bud quality by reducing oxidative damage during flowering. - **Dose Evaluation**: 125 mg/L is safe and effective (100-300 mg/L in plant studies). Aligns with maize trials showing yield protection under stress. Well-suited for autos without risking buildup. - **L-Glycine (500 mg, 250 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Precursor for glutathione and proteins; detoxifies heavy metals, supports root health, and enhances nutrient uptake (e.g., Ca). Reduces toxicity in contaminated soils and boosts flower resilience. - **Dose Evaluation**: 250 mg/L is within the effective range (100-500 mg/L). Higher than your previous mix (100 mg/L), but still safe; supports GSH synthesis and complements glutathione. - **TMG (Trimethylglycine, 400 mg, 200 mg/L)**: - **Role**: Methyl donor and osmoprotectant; enhances heat/drought tolerance, membrane stability, and terpene gene expression. Supports bud density and aroma. - **Dose Evaluation**: 200 mg/L (~1.7 mM) matches plant study ranges (200-500 mg/L). Higher than your prior 100 mg/L, enhancing stress protection without osmotic imbalance. #### Combined Effects This mix is well-tailored for autoflower cannabis in the flowering phase, balancing low-N bloom nutrients with biostimulants to maximize bud quality and resilience: - **Bud Development and Yield**: Connoisseur Bloom’s P-K focus drives dense bud formation, while proline, glutathione, and TMG protect against flower-stage stresses (e.g., high light, heat), potentially increasing yield by 15-30% (e.g., 150-300 g/plant in hydro/coco). Glycine enhances nutrient uptake, supporting larger calyxes. - **Terpene and Cannabinoid Quality**: TMG and proline upregulate terpene synthesis (e.g., limonene, myrcene), enhancing aroma and resin. Glutathione reduces oxidative damage, preserving cannabinoid stability (THCA/CBDA). No EAA in this mix avoids N-driven potency reduction. - **Stress Resilience**: Glutathione and proline scavenge ROS, while TMG and glycine bolster osmotic and metal stress tolerance. This is critical for autoflowers, which are prone to stunting in flower under environmental swings. - **Nutrient Efficiency**: Glycine and TMG enhance uptake of Connoisseur’s chelated nutrients (e.g., Ca, Mg), reducing N needs by improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). This aligns with your goal of reducing N fertilizer in commercial farming. - **Microbial Support**: Glycine fosters beneficial microbes, synergizing with Connoisseur’s organics for root health in coco/soil. #### Dose Evaluation - **Total Biostimulant Load**: 1550 mg in 2 L = 775 mg/L total (200 mg/L proline, 125 mg/L glutathione, 250 mg/L glycine, 200 mg/L TMG). This is within safe limits. 8/22 4:13 AM took a video of both of the Tyson gelato plants and the bubbles plant is in there with them. They all have pollen so I may have crossed pollinate it successfully. I won’t know for a while but everyone’s doing great and remember the two Tyson plants were poorly germinated and grew in one pot and I ripped them in two pieces not thinking they would survive and they both did and they both grow very well considering and they didn’t have any signs of stress. They didn’t grow male flowers. They’ve just been completely strong.👍👍👍👍🥊🥊🥊🥊 8/22 11:20 PM. I dried some Tyson gelato overnight. I grind some up and it has the most amazing smell. I can’t even describe really what it is. I’ve never smelled this in a plant before I didn’t know this was possible and I’m kind of old and beat up, so my smell doesn’t work, but it’s almost like cream of wheat cereal with maple syrup. It’s the craziest thing it’s just absolutely beautiful.🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊👍👍👍👍👍

Grow log entries are usually posted 3 weeks later and are for my learning reference. ««| Introduction - Week 14 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17535.7, Wow what a week of growing! Ending the veg phase healthy and strong! Wow the garden is thriving! Started the week with a compost tea brew and wow growth exploded with vigor! By the end of the week, both Heady OG and TKO have filled in the scrog netting and the canopy is more than ready for the two-week stretch! Also slightly increased VPD levels. As for the veg tent, been on auto-pilot. Basic super-cropping and topping to keep the canopy low and even. The Heady OG and TKO clones are still rooting in the propagation dome and plan on check for roots next week. Anyways, the 12/12 flip begins tomorrow! Maximum warp Ensign! Engage!

Been researching more on compost teas and with about week before the flip to flower, think it’s time to brew up some compost tea! --- Using the TeaLab brewing rig to bubble and mix the stew! --- Going to attempt to brew a fungal dominant tea using a modified compost tea recipe from Dr. Elaine Ingham. --- Unlike most compost teas, her recipe lacks molasses and sugars which promotes a more fungal dominant brew instead of anaerobic bacterial microbes. --- Okay let's start brewing! --- Assembled and installed the TeaLab brewing rig into a 5-gallon bucket and secured the unit using a garden support wire. --- Have a few empty buckets under the main brew bucket for insulation. Not really needed (pretty warm in the lung room), but why not. --- If the pump ever fails, to prevent flood-backs, made sure to place the unit above the water level and resting above the brew bucket. - [10:37]: Filled the 5-gallon bucket with 1-gallon of RO water. --- Plugging the pump in to start the bubbling! --- Have to say that the unit is a bit louder than anticipated, but wow the bubbles are quite vigorous and could not achieve the same level of aeration with air-stones. - [10:46]: Time to pre-condition the water! --- Since I'm using RO water, both chlorine and chloramine shouldn't be an issue. But to neutralize any remaining chlorine and chloramine, going to brew with humic acid for a bit. ------ Added 1/32tsp of Big 6 Micronutrients [+ Humic Acid] ------ Added 1/2tsp of Pure Protein Dry [Fish Hydrolysate Aminos] --------- [ BREWED FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES ] - [10:57]: Okay! Time for microbes and fungi! ------ Added 1/64tsp of Beauveria Bassiana Plus ------ Added 1/8tsp of: --------- Mycrobe Complete --------- Bio-Phos --------- Great White - [11:10]: Alright!

Heady OG is filling in the tent beautifully! --- Wow TKO is completely filled with tops and she needs to be flipped to flower! She is going to be a beast in a week! Going to be an epic flower cycle! --- Time to tuck and pluck! - [18:58]: Tucked the top growth under the scrog netting. --- Defoliated more of the larger fan leaves. --- Cleaned the bottom for both girls. --- Mulched the trimmings. --- Now both ladies have clean legs! --- Wow TKO’s main stalk is thick! Really wish I started her in a 30-gallon. Oh well. A 20-gallon should still be more than enough soil. I think. --- Anyways! - [19:25]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 49% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 37% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 47% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 48% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 42% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 40% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 40% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 41% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [19:26]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing. --- All WittFlow units are also connected. Although 2 units are getting low. - [19:42]: Okay time to feed the compost tea! --- The compost tea has been brewing for about 8hrs. --- Before feeding the tea, ------ Added 1/8tsp of: --------- Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] --------- Recharge --------- Lotus Cal/Mag ------ Added 1tsp of Horticultural Coconut --------- [ BREWED AGAIN FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES ] - [19:57]: Okay! Tea is ready! Let’s go! --- Unhooked and removed the compost bag before squeezing the water out (best I could). - [20:15]: Emptied the compost into a plastic bin. --- Top-dressed the compost onto the top of both the 20-gallon and 30-gallon pot in the 4x4 tent. - [20:28]: Time to feed! --- Poured 6 cups straight through a plastic coffee filter and into a pump sprayer. - [20:55]: Misted the 20-gallon pot’s straw mulch. --- Sprayed the straw evenly. --- Repeated this process for the 30-gallon pot. --- Also swapped out the yellow sticky traps. --- The remaining solution (~2 cups) was poured into a pitcher and used on the house plants. --- Wow using a coffee filter has completely eliminated the clogging issue I was getting with the popcorn tea (almost bought a new pump).
